3.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to property buying 1 Aug 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book as part of my research into buying and restoring a property Italy.

The book concentrates really on the seraching and buying process and not as much on restoration. It contains lots of entertaining stories - but I would have liked to have seen more facts, checklists and information about the actual costs of restoring. Bearing in mind that the writer restored a property felt that she would have been happy to share issues like costs, photos etc.,

An interesting lightweight paperback which gives and introduction to buying etc., in Italy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buying a propery in Italy : Changing circumstances 19 Mar 2008
By Mr. E. Campbell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The book is fairly comprehensive and well indexed. It covers topics and has a very similar format to other books in the same field. However, as with these other books, if you are looking for a comprehensive, one stop shop you'll be disappointed. Since the book is broad ranging, each topic is covered rather thinly. The author may have been advised to narrow the range of topics by cutting out, say, the travelog stuff and beefing up the topics that people might really want and need to know. For example, it is illegal for an insurance company in any EU country to deny third party motor insurance cover for an indefinite period while you're driving anywhere in the EU. Also, much of the information is well out of date and the book needs serious revision.

3.0 out of 5 stars Euro Centric 23 Dec 2007
By Yusuf Saleeby - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
All in all a pretty good book... sure convinced me to really really look hard and long into buying in Italy. Much romantic notion in the idea... but probably a really big cluster headache.

The book however, is very Euro Centric. The author is from England and it is written from an English perspective. For American buyers a book written by a US resident would have been more informative.
